I don't have facts to back my initial thoughts up but this looks on the surface to be a horrific outcome. People die much faster from lack of water than from lack of food. I wonder which countries will be able to provide aid because of the embargos as well
It's not like Iran is impoverished, why should anyone provide aid? Let them use their money to import water rather than fund terror all over the place. Aid makes sense when the locals can't do it themselves, but that's not the case here.
Teheran has all these problems all because of the clerics. The city is insanely polluted. The waters are polluted, the air polluted, the vehicles aged and polluting, the works. Guess that's what happens when you have a country run by uneducated mullahs who also have a hand in the extreme exploitation of the land. For those not in the know, the clerics personally control all businesses through trusts called bonyads, which overexploit water sources for agricultural use (saffron exports, horticulture, farming, etc.) and manufacturing and industry. Heck, Khamenei's bonyad is the largest and controls Coca Cola bottling in Iran.
Flint has all these problems all because of the politicians. The city is insanely polluted. The waters are polluted, the air polluted, the trains aged and polluting, the works. Guess that's what happens when you have a country run by uneducated democrats and republicans who also have a hand in the extreme exploitation of the land. For those not in the know, the bureaucracy controls all businesses through trusts overregulation, which overexploit water sources for financialization use (ai, bitcoin, fracking, etc.) and manufacturing and industry. Heck, blackrock is the largest and controls almost everything in america.
Resources have been literally drained to nothing, the population is too high to reduce demand, and the government is too corrupt to do anything. Iran is absolutely fucked.
Perhaps the people will rise up and “vote” their leaders out with a rebellion.
A thing we should all keep in mind about democracy is that it’s the pressure release valve that allows citizens to remove their unpopular leadership without bloodshed. Lack of democracy doesn’t mean citizens won’t rise up it just means more destruction and chaos when they do.

You can makes the same argument about the US after the flint water crisis
tehran is a vibrant city of over 10 million people, Im sure a few of them are not terrorists
How much international aid was sent in to help Flint with their water crisis?

Youre being down voted, because obviously all 10 million of them are in fact terrorists.
I'm glad you agree
You seem to be misinformed. The west are the global terrorists.
It’s a long watch/listen, but this is a good overview of what’s gone wrong, and why it’s basically unfixable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qL0IWvliqc
